  • OpenAI just bought the raw wafers? WTF.

  • I think the RAM manufacturers were found to be guilty of colluding/price-fixing in that case (maybe this case too).

  • It's ok. It seems a bit ad-hoc to me compared to some of the higher-level academic languages I like (Haskell, Scala, Clojure, Chapel, etc). It's much simpler than C++, and more expressive than C though.

  • Not really. TSMC has a near monopoly on the advanced fabrication, and ASML has a near monopoly on the lithographic machines TSMC uses. Nvidia is a fab-less designer. Google has its TPUs, and Amazon has some kind of custom chip too.

  • You can boot Pis off an USB HDD or SSD. I think there are specific hats for that as well. But yeah, backups, at least of configs, are nice.

  • It is much easier to maintain software with static type checking.

    Debatable

  • Lol

  • Softbank is part of the "Stargate" project to build a $1 trillion AI manufacturing hub in Arizona. At least that's what I read on another article. I think OpenAI is supposed to be part of it too.

  • I always just considered AI as a CS field that included things like planning, pathfinding, logic and symbolic reasoning, and ML, of course. Most of it is built on optimization and constraint satisfaction algorithms.

  • I was thinking about this earlier. The password manager browser plugin I use (Proton Pass) defaults to staying unlocked for the entire browser session. If someone physically gained access to my PC while my password manager was unlocked, they'd be able to access absolutely every password I have. I changed the behavior to auto-lock and ask for a 6-digit PIN, but I'm guessing it wouldn't take an impractical amount of time to brute-force a 6-digit PIN.

    Before I started use a password manager, I'd use maybe 3-4 passwords for different "risks," (bank, email, shopping, stupid shit that made me sign up, etc). Not really sure if a password manager is better (guess it depends on the "threat" you're worried about).

    Edit: Also on my phone, it just unlocks with a fingerprint, and I think law enforcement are allowed to force you to biometrically unlock stuff (or can unlock with fingerprints they have on file).

  • IDK. Tech companies are bringing in more revenue than ever. The trend seems to be companies reporting great revenue growth, then laying off shortly after, to which the investors seem to reward. In the past, layoffs would usually bring stock prices down, since they have less human capital to generate profit from.

  • I think Gen Z is more right-wing than millennials; at least the younger men.

  • Interesting, didn't know that's how modern browsers worked. Guess my understanding was outdated from the HTTP/1 standard.

  • Is it just the HTML that should be under 14kb? I think script, CSS, and image (except embedded SVGs) are separate requests? So these should individually be under 14kb to get the benefit?

  • I believe these cars drive on the same roads all day, whereas people are likely to be driving in and out of areas these systems are not familiar with. I suppose a good comparison would be of a taxi driver that only operates in the same area as the driverless cars, if that exists.

  • His company bought puts. They are less risky, because you don't need to maintain margin. What you pay to buy them is all you can lose.

  • The judiciary "interprets" the constitution. Trump filled the judiciary with loyalist or otherwise ideologically aligned judges during this term and his previous. The supreme court ruled last year that the president has immunity, and the president has the ability to pardon people, so it seems the administration is pretty much "above the law." Even when the courts do push back, they're acting like they're powerless, and the admin's tactics seems to be just ignoring, stalling, or taking the "ain't no rules says a dog can't play basketball" approach to working around the courts. Yes, the constitution has been severely weakened, and will probably continue to weaken.

  • Yeah, if I was a demon, I'd probably invest in surveillance, private prison companies, and whatever companies supply law enforcement equipment.
